make myself throw up

I've been feeling nauseas every night for the last few nights, and it's getting progressively worse. Haven't thrown up yet, but I feel like if I throw up, I will feel better. Should I make myself throw up?

I was one of those people wishing for morning sickness a week ago so I would know I was pregnant... ugh!! It's definitely coming on now... I just want to throw up and feel better.

Iâ€™ve been feeling like that for the last couple of days.I wake up every day feeling like a had too many tequila shots and cigarettes the night before, but Iâ€™m yet to throw up ( such a horrible feeling), but I heard not everyone throws up with morning sickness. I hope you get better soon.

@sonflawah I get to the point that I'm gagging so much that sometimes all I have to do is look at the toilet and I puke. I will say the nausea is pretty much gone for a couple hours after I throw up. Also, even if you have no appetite, force yourself to eat something. I've noticed on days I don't eat much the nausea is 10x worse!!

@sonflawah Don't make yourself throw up. Maybe chug some water. My first pregnancy I was nauseated alllll the time w no vomiting. It was awful. The second two are pukers. I try to help my dry heaves along by coughing and looking in the toilet (which I promptly cleaned after having my head in it). The mere thought of a dirty toilet will get me every time...

I know what you mean- I've only upchucked once when I accidentally gagged myself with my toothbrush. But my body always fights vomiting so I end up miserable. The last time I had food poisoning I had to eventually make myself vomit because there was no other way to end the misery. Have you tried any meds? Even benadryl will help with nausea some- Zofran was my friend for a while because the nausea itself made me so miserable and I still had to go see my patients and be professional in their sometimes highly unsanitary homes.

@sonflawah I wouldn't recommend making yourself throw-up. I have been throwing up and I only feel better for a few minutes before the nausea is back.

@sonflawah its not like the flu where you will feel relief if you do throw up at least it wasnt for me as soon as I threw up the ms would be way worse since my stomach was then empty. Try eating small frequent meals. They also make these lollie pops that are called B-Natal that have Vit B6 I ordered mine thru walgreens pharmacy if you go on line you can get a print out for them and take it in so they know what to order you dont need a perscription.

@sonflawah with my last pregnancy i did feel better after i threw up. i would eat anything for breakfast knowing it was coming back soon, then i would feel better and eat something that tasted good. one day i skipped breakfast and did not throw up, i then felt really sick all day and throw up everything i ate. have you ever thrown up so fast the milk was still cold.
